[Previous Technology] Recently, due to the rapid popularization of liquid crystal displays and liquid crystal televisions, the technology of transforming television signals into liquid crystal display signals has also developed rapidly. At present, there are three major standards for the development of digital television-related standards in the world. They are DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) formulated by the European Broadcast Union (EBU), the United States ATSc (Adv_ed Television Systems Committee), and the Japanese ISDB ( Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting). At present, there are two types of set-top boxes in the market: analog and digital. The only ones that can output VGA format are analog set-top boxes (also known as TV boxes and TV BOX), but all digital set-top boxes have only ordinary CVBS and SCART's output does not have a VGA output, so it can only be applied to a TV. Therefore, according to the digital set-top boxes currently on the market, the image signals cannot be displayed on the computer screen. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a digital set-top box that can convert a received digital broadcast signal into a signal that can be received by a computer screen. 1236293 According to the above object of the present invention, a digital set-top box is provided, which includes a solution. A modulator, a demultiplexer, an MPEG-2 decoder, a video processor and a microprocessor. The demodulator receives a digital broadcast signal to output a digital data stream. The demultiplexer receives a digital data stream to generate a 1 ^ digital image signal. The MPEG-2 decoder receives the digital video signal to generate an interlaced digital video signal. The de-interlaced video processor receives the interlaced digital image signal to generate a digital RGB signal. This digital RGB signal can be transmitted to the display through the Z D VI interface for the user to view the image on the display. And, the microprocessor is connected to a demodulator, a demultiplexer, a ΜρΕ (} _ 2ζ encoder, and a de-interlaced video processor for transmitting related data signals to each unit to control its operation. The digital set-top box of the present invention is more Includes a digital analog converter to receive digital RGB signals and convert the digital RGB signals into analog RGB signals, and such analog RGB signals can be transmitted to the display through the vga interface for users to watch images on the display. Embodiment] To illustrate. The operation mode of the digital set-top box of the present invention will be described below, which is specifically used to receive digital broadcast signals, and then replace the received digital broadcast signals with a signal format that can be received by a computer screen. Here will be digital The video signal of Broadcast U is taken as an example to explain, the audio signal is presented by the traditional method, so please refer to Fig. 1 for the multiplexer without the top box, which is the digital block diagram of the present invention. The set-top box includes a demodulator 1, 1236293,-MPEG_2 decoder 13, a de-interlaced video processor i4, and a microprocessor 150. In the process, the microprocessor 150 is connected to the demodulator ιιο, the demultiplexer 120, the MPEG_2 decoder 130, and the de-interlaced video processor 140, and is used to transmit relevant data signals to each unit to control its operation. The operation of the digital set-top box 100 is as follows. The demodulator 110 receives the digital broadcast signal to output a digital data stream to the demultiplexer 120. The digital broadcast signal includes a digital cable broadcast signal or a digital wireless broadcast signal, and a digital cable broadcast. The signal is, for example, ISDB-C, and the digital wireless broadcast signal is, for example, digital wireless terrestrial broadcast signal DVB-T or ISDB-T, the digital wireless satellite broadcast signal is DVB-S or ISDB-S, and ATSC. Next, the demultiplexer i 2. Generate a digital image Λ number based on the digital data stream. After that, the MPEG-2 decoder 130 generates an interlaced digital image signal based on the digital image signal from the demultiplexer 120. The parent video processor 14 The interleaved digital image signal from the MPEG-2 decoder 130 generates a digital RGB signal. If the display 1 70 supports a digital visual interface (dVI Interface), go to the parent error The video processor 140 can directly transmit digital RGB signals to the display 170 through the DVI interface for users to view images on the display 170. If the display 170 does not support the DVI interface, the de-interlaced video output from the video processor 140 The digital rgb signal can be converted into an analog RGB signal by the digital analog converter 160, and then sent to the display 170 'through the VGA interface for the user to view the image on the display 170. Among them, the display H0 includes a cathode ray tube display ( CRT monitor) or liquid crystal display (1236293 LCD). The digital set-top box of the present invention described above can convert the received digital cable broadcast signal or digital wireless broadcast signal into a VGA and DVI signal format that can be received by the display for users to watch on the display. Although the present invention It has been disclosed in the preferred embodiment as above, but it is not intended to limit = invention. Any person skilled in this art can make various modifications and retouches without departing from the scope and the challenge. Therefore, the invention of the invention = Subject to the attached towel as defined in the patent scope. The diagram simply states that in order to make the above and 1s of the present invention ls, I, his purpose, characteristics, and advantages more obvious, the following is a better way to do it. The embodiments are described in detail with the accompanying drawings as follows: V is made; FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a digital set-top box of the present invention.
